expectations are quite high. I am expecting over Rs 16 to 17 crores on the
opening day. I am expecting around Rs 60 crore or above over the weekend,” said
film business expert Girish Johar.

“Worldwide
I am not too sure but Shah Rukh Khan is very popular overseas. The craze is
there and so I have huge expectations,” he added when we asked him about
worldwide collections. Advance booking for the film had already started since
Monday on online ticket booking platforms”.
